Vanguard PD Day

For any and all information about the Vanguard PD Day, visit our website! As soon as the Pre-Work is prepared, you will find it on this page as well.

Vanguard Opportunity at Teaching Museum North

The Teaching Museum North has an innovative (paid) opportunity for Vanguard members. On Tuesday, February 16 from 5pm - 9pm, the Teaching Museum is hosting a challenge for middle school students entitled Night at the (Teaching) Museum.

Students visit various "stations" where they complete a challenge/activity centered around the event's theme: RHYTHM. Vanguard members are asked to design a challenge around the theme and lead it during the evening's activities.

In addition to be paid, the Teaching Museum North will cover any supplies needed for your activity.

VANGUARD TASKS

December Reflections & TIM-O

ALL MEMBERS: As a reminder, there will be NO December Reflection.

COHORTS 1, 2, 3: In addition, you can use the next week to work on your TIM-Os. If this spills into the beginning of January, that is absolutely fine. Remember, you DO NOT need to leave your classroom to conduct a TIM-O if this presents a hardship. You may review lesson plans and complete a TIM-O. In either case, be sure to provide feedback to your coachee.

COHORT 4A: You have not been required to begin coaching (though I know you're always helping others) or complete any TIM-Os. I will be getting you the information you need for both assignments when we return from the holidays.
